password

[tuka]

I am setting up printing (samba 2.0.7) from a soalris 2.6 to a NT box with shared printers.
This NT requires a password, how can I get around this to send a print job to one of the printer.
I can do a smbclient -L -U (username%password) to the NT box and get a list of services.
Thanks

Hi there,
I did some experimenting with my Solaris box and came up with the following.
Set up a user in the NT domain something like lp with a password of printer.
Then on the Solaris box, issue the following;
smbclient //printserver/printer -U lp%printer -P -c "print filename.txt"

BTW if the file tries to print all on one line, you may need to run dos2unix on the file.

Hope this helps
DT
